Chapter 61 Love at First Sight
That night, outside the Beining Hall dormitory, Runhe and Yunchen met quietly.
"Guard Yun, have you brought the person here? Have you let anyone else in the mansion see him?"
"No, I asked Miss Dankou to wear my clothes and come in with her head down." Yun Chen said and waved behind him, and Dankou immediately walked out in small steps.
When Runhe first saw Dankou, he subconsciously said, "Guard Yun, you two... look like - like twin brother and sister."
Maybe it’s because Yun Chen is a woman dressed as a man, and even when pretending to be a man, he still exudes femininity, and Dan Kou has the same temperament when wearing Yun Chen’s guard uniform.
The two stood side by side, with the same clothes and stature, the same high-tied hair and feminine appearance. At first glance, they did look very similar.
It’s just that Dankou has makeup on her face, eyebrows and eyes drawn, and looks much more gorgeous and bright than Yunchen.
Runhe looked Dankou up and down, nodded with satisfaction, but still asked Yunchen quietly with concern:
"Has the court doctor taken your pulse? Is the young lady in good health?"
After getting a positive answer, Runhe made way and motioned Yunchen and Dankou to enter the dormitory.
In an instant, Yun Chen felt an inexplicable sourness in his heart, and suddenly he couldn't move forward.
Run He urged: "Guard Yun, go in quickly, otherwise the young master will need to rest."
Yun Chen said "Oh", and her tone revealed a depression that she herself was not aware of.
Yun Chen led Dan Kou into the house, turned around the screen, and saw Huo Gannian sitting in a wheelchair, leaning against the window reading a book.
He was wearing a snow-white pajamas, his thin collarbone was exposed from the front, and the lines of his chest were vaguely visible.
He was holding the book in his hand, reading it seriously. From the side of his face, one could see his sharp eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and thin lips slightly pursed.
Hearing the noise, he looked up and saw Yun Chen. He was about to smile, but his expression froze immediately when he saw Dan Kou, who was wearing a guard uniform, walking out from behind him.
Yun Chen didn't know what to say, so he could only look at Huo Gannian anxiously, waiting for his possible violent reaction.
After a moment of silence, Huo Gannian's expression turned cold.
For the first time, Yun Chen saw a suppressed disappointment in those eyes.
"Get out." Huo Gannian said coldly.
Yun Chen heaved a sigh of relief. Dan Kou saluted obediently and prepared to leave, but Huo Gannian said again:
"Yun Chen, get out."
Yun Chen paused for a moment, then stepped back and left.
When turning around the screen, Yun Chen saw Dan Kou swaying her slender waist and sitting on Huo Gannian's thighs.
As he left the bedroom and was about to close the door, Yun Chen clearly heard Dan Kou's charming "Ah" coming from inside the room.
The voice was charming and shy, wanting to refuse but also to welcome, which made Yun Chen feel sad.
Rarely, she left her designated guard post and chose a spot farthest from the door.
The autumn night is a little chilly, making people feel empty and lonely.
Yun Chen didn't know what was wrong with him. Many images flashed through his mind, including Dan Kou's soft waist and Huo Gannian's slender and strong arms.
She was afraid that Huo Gannian would look up at Dan Kou and smile softly at her.
She even hoped that the door would be pushed open the next moment, and Dankou would walk out with an embarrassed expression and say "No, no."
But after waiting for a long time, until the starry night fell, Dan Kou finally came out, straightening her clothes and smiling at Yun Chen:
"Guard Xiaoyun, if your master is satisfied, I will leave."
"Okay...thank you, young lady..." Yun Chen responded in a low voice.
Since that night, Dan Kou wore Yun Chen's clothes, disguised as a guard, and went to Beiningtang four or five times.
Yun Chen directly handed the task of personal guard to Xun Yan, and she was busy making arrangements for the journey all day and was hardly seen.
For several days in a row, she didn't go to Beining Hall once, and Huo Gannian didn't call her in to ask questions or ask her to have dinner together as usual.
It was the night before we were to leave Yancheng. Everything was ready and we were just waiting to set off at dawn.
Xun Xun was going to say goodbye to his family in Yancheng, so he asked Yun Chen and Xiao Liu to go have dinner together.
Yun Chen was worried about the two guards leaving at the same time, but he kept silent:
"Achen, go ahead. I'm here. We can just transfer twenty more guards. You three brothers haven't been together for a long time. Go ahead."
Yun Chen was still hesitating, Xun Yan put his arm around her shoulders:
"Achen, let's go. Your sister-in-law has braised pork ribs for you."
Seeing that Xun Yan had something else to say, as if he had something to say, Yun Chen agreed.
When Xiaoliu heard that there were braised pork ribs, he immediately ran faster than a rabbit.
An hour later, when the sun was setting in the west, in the courtyard of a private house, the three martial artists who had graduated from the martial arts school together in the past, now wearing the guard uniforms of the Huo Gang, gathered together again and drank and chatted happily.
Xun Yan sighed deeply and said, "Joining the Huo Gang is great, but after enduring for over a year, I finally made it back to Yancheng. Who would have thought that we would be moving to Kyoto?"
Yun Chen knew that Xun Yan was worried about his entire family, young and old, in Yancheng.
She patted Xun Xun's shoulder and comforted him:
"Brother Gou, once we settle down in Kyoto, we'll bring my sister-in-law and the rest of the family to Kyoto. Don't worry about the money. I have it. Buying two or three houses in the suburbs of Kyoto won't be a problem."
Xiaoliu, who had been busy eating meat, swallowed a big mouthful of meat and said:
"I have some savings too! My monthly salary isn't much, but I can't spend it all in the northwest desert. I've saved quite a bit this year, so it should be enough for the trip!"
After hearing these words, Xun Jian felt relieved and moved. His eyes were moist and his voice was choked. He raised his wine bowl and said solemnly:
"Thank you, brothers. It's worth it to meet you. I, Xun Xun, have always been afraid of wolves and tigers in my life. In the words of the Flower Guard, I am indeed a 'coward'..."
Before Xun Jian could finish, Xiao Liu threw down the rib bones and shouted:
"Bullshit! Brother Gou, you are a man among men! You won't argue with that idiot Hua Jue! Yes... yes..."
Seeing Xiaoliu's face flushed and he was unable to utter the next words, Xun Jian smiled and took over: "I cherish this hard-earned position as a personal guard and I don't want to offend anyone, so I lost my monthly salary of five taels of silver."
As he spoke, Xun Jian glanced at Yun Chen and said, "If it weren't for Yun Chen, I'm afraid Xiao Liu and I wouldn't even be in the Young Master's eyes."
"What do you mean?" Yun Chen didn't understand.
Seeing that Yun Chen was still the same as before, intelligent though he was, but when it came to certain areas, he became a complete blank slate, completely clueless, Xun Yan was both relieved and worried, and could only say:
"Back in the bloody fight in the bamboo forest, when we first met the Huo Gang, the young master took Xiaoliu and me into the Huo Gang just to keep you. We are all thanks to you."
Xiao Liu nodded in agreement. "I feel the same way! When I was herding cattle in the northwest, the gang leader was surprised to hear that the young master had hired me from the martial arts school. He said that the Huo Gang only hired martial arts masters temporarily at most, and never officially recruited them. All the guards of the Huo Gang were born in the family."
Xun Xun looked at Yun Chen's face and said, "The young master probably fell in love with you at first sight." He bit his tongue and swallowed the word "love".
